I'm 21 years old, fresh out of school and joining university this october.
Although my family was/is catholic, I can't really say I was raised as one. We occassionaly went to church and I attended religious education in school like everyone until 8th grade or so, but I don't think I ever believed any of what was told to me, maybe because my parents never seemed to care that much. While my brother became an atheist when he was around 16, I began dabbling in esoteric because i found it fascinating (being about 13 years old then). Eventually I realized that I just 'wanted' to believe in those things and consider myself an atheist maybe since the age of 16 as well. The only thing I took with me from my esoteric phase is, that I can still name dozens of minerals and gems .

Although I'm a very shy person, I hope I can contribute to one or another discussion.
(And I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes )

Bury me with my guns on, so when I reach the other side - I can show him what it feels like to die.
Bury me with my guns on, so when I'm cast out of the sky, I can shoot the devil right between the eyes.
